Silverhead
were a British band, fronted by the singer/actor, Michael Des Barres.
The other members of the band were: Robbie Blunt (guitar), Rod Rook
Davies (guitar, percussion, vocals), Nigel Harrison (bass guitar) and
Pete Thompson (Drums, percussion, keyboards, vocals). They recorded two
studio albums, Silverhead (1972) and 16 and Savaged (1973), and were a
part of the glam rock music scene of the 1970s.
Despite that they had no real commercial success, Silverhead were
serious role models for many sleaze bands in the 80s. In the UK they
played support to bands such as Nazareth at Finsbury Park and Osibisa at
the Brixton Sundown, and were the lead band in the Dagenham Roundhouse.
Work on a third studio album (working title 'Brutiful') started in
1974, but the group disbanded in July 1974 before it was finished.

This
self-titled album from UK Prog Rock band "Beckett" was their only
album from 1974. They have a huge following in the South Tyneside area
of England. It is worth noting that Iron Maiden covered "A Rainbow's
Gold", which is featured on the B-Side of their 'Two Minutes To
Midnight" single. And a few members of "Beckett" went on to form the
band "Back Street Crawler" with the ex-guitarist of 'Free', Paul
Kossoff.

Formed
in Memphis in 1968 by Baker, who'd fronted local faves The Blazers, the
initial line-up evolved to include drummer Durham, who'd been with The
Group and The Rapscallions. Produced, written and arranged by Don Nix
(ex-Mar-Keys and Paris Pilot) in Memphis, Moloch is an excellent blues
rock album with some sound effects, noises and superb acid guitar solos
by Lee Baker. Their single was recorded after the album with a later
line-up and is extremely rare.
